Intro: A A7 D Dm (x2) 
 
 
Verse 1: 
A                 A7 
   I saw you last night, 
            D 
down at the mere 
           Dm                             A 
I saw your hands were playing gently with her hair 
              A7       D 
I see you and I, in my mirror 
           Dm                              A 
I close my eyes and wish that you could be here 
        A                   D               Dm 
it's my fantasy to have you holding me, baby 
A        A     
   going privately crazy 
Dm 
   do you know what you do with me 
 D             A                      D 
Stay, make my blue moon bright for a change 
        A 
make my dreams and just 
E     F#m    E  D Dm 
don't stay, afraid 
 
be the one 
A A7 D Dm 
(yea, eyeyey) 
 Verse 2: 
A                A7                D 
   Get out of my head, get into my heart 
       Dm                         A 
be for real, who you ... fiction or real huh 
               A7                  D 
I made up this lie, I made up this life 
          Dm                                  A                
when I'm alone it's like you're right here by my side 
        A                   D                 Dm 
it's my fantasy to have you here with me, baby 
A        A              D 
   going privately crazy 
       Dm 
if you came I know just what I'd say 
 
 
(Repeat Chorus)

        A                   D               Dm

A        A     
   going privately crazy 
Dm 
   do you know what you do with me 
 
 
(Repeat Chorus)
